Hey guys so I partitioned my sd card to 1gb and I installed 150 apps and games but my phone memory decreasing so fast and I getting the low on space message already I know this is due to the dalvik calche.
What happen if I press dalvik cache rebuild in the app2sdgui app? I really want more apps to be installed cos my a2sd space is 400mb+ more.

Dalvik cache will be rebuilt. But it's futile since the size will be the same. To increase phone memory move dalvik to sd card or reduce the number of apps.

So you're saying if I rebuild them my internal memory will still be the same?
I have already did moved my dalvik to sd ext and I don't want to reduce my apps. Cos I use them all.
But its really funny, I did a test, first I checked my internal memory is 60mb, then I installed Rule The Sky from the market which is 30mb then I checked my internal memory it decreases to 30mb lol. Idk if the a2sd is working sometimes or not

As said above, pointless. Looks at data2sd if you have so much junk on your phone.

That you should use data2sd instead of messing with cache rebuilds which will do nothing useful wrt free space.
My question is what will happen if I press rebuild dalvik cache in the a2sdgui apps. Will my internal memory increases. Will it harm my apps. Will it make some of my apps stops working, fc or error?
Cos I'm really desperate to increase my internal memory to installed more apps cos my a2sd space is 400mb more

Christ.
- It will rebuild the dalvik cache. Duh!
- No, already answered.

P.S. Use data2sd if you desparately need more space (and guess what, already said as well.)

I'm using liberated 008 and seems like no difference if i move apps to SD or internal storage. I have 15 megabytes left on internal storage and i moved almost all applications to the SD card and i still have 15 MB free space. Do i have to do something special to use this feature? I've tried to move apps with titanium backup and via manage applications. Seems like they moved and i still have low space. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Yes, my phone is rooted.

Clear your cache in recovery it should help.

Sorry if I sound very dumb, but how do I use a swap partition?.. I know its like a "ram extension", please correct me if Im wrong. Could you also give opinions to what size should I put as a swap partition? Im planning to buy a 8gb class 10 microsdcard. Thank you.

Swap is Hard Disk space being used as RAM . When the system is low on memory , the applications that are inactive will get swapped to the Hard Disk . This allows more RAM to be freed for other applications and for a smooth experience .
Applications also have the ability to get swapped back and forth , so multitasking is not a problem

A swop partition is for computers that do not have enough ram. As far as I known Android (linux) OS is very good in dealing with memory. I have not seen anything on XDA developers forum in relation to this question. Android does not need a swop-disk or partition.

40mb swap is enough. swap is a backup plan: don't treat it like your actual ram.

Thanks! May I ask some other questions, without going too much OT?
In apps2sdGUI there are several low memory settings, but how do they work? There's no explanation of what they do...
In the end, always on apps2sdGUI should I change the dalvik VM heapsize standard value? Is there any benefit from doing it?
Thank you!

You can do it from pc using minitool partition wizard!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
you also can try with CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9 if u using CF-root..
Reboot into recovery > choose advanced > partition SD card > then pick ur sd-ext and swap size..
for me, swap work best at the minimum 32M, larger than that would be problem later
i tried partitioning.. i have 1g sd-ext and 32m swap.. i chech a2sd repair it said sd-ext not mounted. i tried mounting it manually in cwm but still it doesnt mount. then i tried a2sd install, but when i checked titanium backusd,, my system rom and sd(a2sd) is identical.. what have i done wrong?..
Dunno.. maybe you should try reflashing!
Sent from my Galaxy Ace running GLSMT 2.1 Rom, with XDA app.
maybe. or ill just do a nandroid restore. my system rom 42mb free become 12mb after a2sd.. lol
Clear enough, which one is faster?
I know S2E or A2SD are more reliable (since the apps would still work when we do other things like USB Storage)
But I am feeling some performance degradation when using S2E, is it placebo? I'm using a class 10 SD Card with ext4 partition, btw.
Did you move "Application Data" in s2e? This can degrease the performance.
what about dalvik-cache?
is it advisable to move to sd-ext or leave it at internal memory?
is it effect the performance?
I have dalvik-cache on external memory, and don't really fell a difference, I think it can make a difference in launching time of apps but no more.
Well, I don't move /data/data to /sd-ext. Then.. If it doesn't make a difference, maybe it's just a placebo lol

EDIT: How do I exclude an app so it doesn't be moved into /sd-ext? I'm kinda worried putting a launcher on /sd-ext u.u

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.
I want one answer who I hope can solve all my doubts.
I installed Link2SD (v. 2.4.2, the latest).
I have about 25-30 apps, but they aren't all heavy (the heaviest is probably Subway Surfers, which is about 30 MB, but I also have got some apps which doesn't occupy neither 1 MB).
So I linked all the apps (both those which were in the internal memory, both those which were in SD card), and the internal memory busy showed in Settings -> Apps -> Apps Management was about 90 MB.
But I have one question: it's better link the apps to SD or move them?
My friend Woft says if I move the apps, it only move the apk, but the data will remain on the internal memory, and if I link them, it move all on the SD (apk and data). Is that the truth or there is some mistakes?
Another thing: why when I wipe the Dalvik Cache, the internal memory who before is 90 MB, it become 147 MB? (I wipe by the recovery mode).
I hope in an your answer and I'm sorry for my bad english, but I'm italian.
Hey bro the better option is to link the app.don't move the app to sd.linking a app is better than moving
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
if you will move the apps, widgets wont work for that app..
so better link the app.
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
Yes thats the Truth and just like they said. Linking is better. Good luck with that :good:
Is better to link the apps.
Clear cache and dalvik cache once a day.
The cache of the apps takes a lot of memory. XDA app haves like 12mb of cache.

Clearing the cache will only mean data is redownloaded, and the cache recreated when needed. It's a good idea if you're not planning to use the app, but if you're using it regularly, you might as well make use of that cache and clear it less often.
As for the dalvik-cache, once a day is overkill. You shouldn't have to do that ever, basically, but sometimes due to linking it's not cleared correctly. Considering it's rare enough, once a week (or more) is enough IMO.
